C. Adloff et al., Investigation of power corrections to event shape variables measured in deep-inelastic scattering, EUR PHY J C, 14(2), 2000, pp. 255-269
Deep-inelastic ep scattering data, taken with the H1 detector at HERA, are
used to study the event shape variables thrust, jet broadening, jet mass, C
parameter and two kinds of differential two-jet rate. The data cover a lar
ge range of the four-momentum transfer Q, which is considered to be the rel
evant energy scale, between 7GeV and 100 GeV. The Q dependences of the mean
values are compared with second order calculations of perturbative QCD app
lying power law corrections proportional to 1/Q(p) to account for hadroniza
tion effects. The concept of power corrections is investigated by fitting s
imultaneously a non-perturbative parameter <(alpha)over bar>(p-1) and the s
trong coupling constant a,.
